Jasta 35 Albatross D.III fighters were used by Jasta 35. Active 1916–1918 Country German Empire Branch Luftstreitkräfte Type Fighter squadron Engagements World War I

Military unit

**Royal Bavarian Jagdstaffel 35** was a World War I "hunting group" (i.e., fighter squadron) of the *[Luftstreitkräfte](/source/Luftstreitkr%C3%A4fte)*, the air arm of the [Imperial German Army](/source/Imperial_German_Army) during [World War I](/source/World_War_I). The unit would score 44 aerial victories during the war, at the expense of six [killed in action](/source/Killed_in_action), four killed in flying accidents, nine [wounded in action](/source/Wounded_in_action), five injured in flying accidents, and two taken [prisoner of war](/source/Prisoner_of_war).[1]

## History

Royal Bavarian Jagdstaffel 35 was established at the FEA 6 training center on 14 December 1916. It became operational by 1 March 1917. It achieved its first victory on the same day it lost its first Staffelführer, 14 April 1917. After the death in combat of its second CO, subsequent leaders were brought in from outside, Hanstein from [Jasta 16](/source/Jasta_16) and both Fuchs and Stark from [Jasta 77](/source/Jasta_77). The squadron disbanded ten days after war's end, on 21 November 1918, at FEA 1 at [Schleissheim](/source/Flugplatz_Schlei%C3%9Fheim).[1]

## Personnel

Rudolf Hess as a Pilot 1918

The squadron had three notable aces serve with it. [Rudolf Stark](/source/Rudolf_Stark) was a winner of the [Iron Cross](/source/Iron_Cross); [Ludwig Hanstein](/source/Ludwig_Hanstein) won the [Royal House Order of Hohenzollern](/source/Royal_House_Order_of_Hohenzollern). [Fritz Anders](/source/Fritz_Anders_(aviator)) also won the Iron Cross.[1] Hitler Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess trained as a pilot and was assigned October 14, 1918 to Jagdstaffel 35 but did not see any action before the end of the war 11 November 1918.[3][4][5]

## Aircraft and operations

### Aircraft

The new squadron apparently began with new [Albatros D.IIIs](/source/Albatros_D.III)[2] Later, it must have had at least one [Albatros D.V](/source/Albatros_D.V), as *Staffelführer* Hanstein was flying one when he was killed.[1]

In 1918, the unit upgraded to [Fokker D.VIIs](/source/Fokker_D.VII), some [Pfalz D.XIIs](/source/Pfalz_D.XII), and some [LFG Roland D.VIs](/source/LFG_Roland_D.VI).[1]

### Operations

Jasta 35 entered its military service on the [*Armee-Abteilung* B](/source/Armee-Abteilung_B) Sector in March 1917, and operated there until July. It then transitioned to support of [4th Armee](/source/4th_Army_(German_Empire)). It stayed with 4th Armee until December; during this time, it became part of [Otto Schmidt](/source/Otto_Schmidt_(aviator))'s [Jagdgruppe II](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JG_II&action=edit&redlink=1) along with [Jasta 5](/source/Jasta_5), [Jasta 37](/source/Jasta_37), and [Jasta 46](/source/Jasta_46). In March 1918, Jasta 35 transferred into [Jagdgruppe 8](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jagdgruppe_8&action=edit&redlink=1) under [Eduard Ritter von Schleich](/source/Eduard_Ritter_von_Schleich), joining [Jasta 23](/source/Jasta_23), [Jasta 32](/source/Jasta_32), and [Jasta 59](/source/Jasta_59); this meant it also transferred to support of [17th Armee](/source/17th_Army_(German_Empire)). It remained in that support role until September 1918. When Jasta 59 moved out of JG 8 and [Jasta 34](/source/Jasta_34) moved in, the new Royal Bavarian [Jagdgeschwader IV](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JG_IV&action=edit&redlink=1) was established; Jasta 35 ended its war with this new unit.[1]
